My paternal grandfather kept 2 pipes on the end table by his recliner; a dark walnut stained straight billiard and a quarter bent black rusticated billiard (could have been a dublin). Not sure of the brand, I never saw them again after he died. Going through some of his things I did find an old bulk 1lb. bag of bargain black Cavendish about 1/3 full.
My paternal grandmother's brother was the constant pipe smoker. Uncle Jack.. their house smelled of pipe tobacco as a rule. He died when I was around 10 so I don't recall any specifics. My aunt eventually bought their old house. I was over there a couple years ago, digging in the garage and found an old tin of Balkan Sobranie.
To my chagrin it was empty, but I kept it anyway. Still sits amidst my open jars.
